With all the big sporting events coming up, outside of Las Vegas and Kentucky area casinos will be the best place to see them.

No need to travel all the way to Las Vegas Saturday, May 4 to see Floyd Mayweather take on Robert Guerrero for the WBC welterweight championship. Many Inland area casinos will be screening the fight and its undercard beginning at 6 p.m.

Pala will televise the fight for free in the events center and around the casino at the Center Bar and west video wall. Pechanga will play the fight in Kelseyâs, Cabaret Lounge, Round Bar, Acorn Bar and Cascade Bar. Spotlight 29 has it scheduled in Hot Spot, Groove and Blue Bar. Fantasy Springs will show the fight in Lit Lounge, Springs Bar and 12th Floor Wine Bar.

Before the big fight gets under way, horses will take center stage at the 139th Kentucky Derby. NBCâs coverage begins at 1 p.m. with Derby post around 3:30 p.m.

Pala will show the race in the Infinity Showroom and on TVs around the casino at 3 p.m. Fantasy Springs will have the race available in Lit Lounge, Springs Bar, 12th Floor Wine Bar and off track betting where wagers can be made on the race.

With both the Clippers and Lakers in the NBA playoffs, casinos provide a fun place to gather with other fans to watch the games. Most casinos will have playoff games from around the league on in all their bars and lounges, with crowds becoming bigger and more vocal when local teams advance.
